If you love sandwiches like I love sandwiches, you've got to try Smallgoods!…read more Located in La Jolla, there's plenty of street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Overall, a really walkable area! Walking in, it's clear that their sandwiches are a crowd favorite from all the awards on the walls. Dubbed as "La Jolla's Most Popular," I went with their California Turkey & Cheese. It features a long list of things: California Swiss + SoCal Turkey + Granny Smith Apple + Cucumber + Micro & Mixed Greens + Local Mustard + Smoked Padron Jam + Mayo. I absolutely adore when sandwiches have a splash of fruit or jam in them. It's so underrated! I brought it to the water to enjoy and it made for the perfect beach sandwich. Light, flavorful, and filling- I was the envy of every seagull with this beaut haha. I will be returning to try their long menu of what sounds like incredible combos all around!

We came across Smallgoods by accident. I wanted to pick up a gift certificate as a gift, a couple…read moredoors down from the cheese shop, but due to bookings, their lobby is not always open. Since we were parked we decided to check out the cheese shop, the owner kindly came running out to warn us about the strict ticketing for parking in the 15 minute parking spot we were parked in right out front. We've visited this cheese shop several times now and enjoyed the specialty sandwiches they make. Our favorite, the SG Cheese Melt - made with a cheese mix, specially mustard, jam, red onion and thinly sliced apples, this is our favorite sandwich. I love a good ham and cheese, you must order it with the Nugget ham, so don't forget to add the ham! We also tried the California Wagyu bresaola, a cold sandwich, but can be made hot if you like. It was also very good, but we just keep coming back to the SG hot melt! Key things to know! - Limited parking! There is only street parking and a 15 min only spot directly in front of the shop. So it may be difficult to park on the weekends. - They are not open on Sundays or Mondays. - If you're looking for a sandwich their kitchen doesn't make sandwiches until after 11 am, the staff making the sandwiches are not there yet and they may run out of ingredients to make certain sandwiches. So don't expect to try to get one near closing time at 5 pm. A complete bummer since we tried a couple times and failed to pick up a sandwich. I love a good, easy to eat, not overwhelming sandwich, so this place makes my list of fav sandwiches! Owner is super friendly. The sandwiches are specialty and absolute delish! We don't live in the area and it's definitely worth the drive (if you can get a sandwich)! If you're in the area, definitely worth the stop in as they also offer drinks and premade and made to order cheese plates if you're heading to beach! 2026: 36

Jaybird Superette is a market deli. Located in a cul de sac of a PUD planned urban development…read moregated community in the hills of La Jolla. Plenty of free parking in the lot. It's a smallish shop with a menagerie of foods and goods: cheeses, wine, tin fish, and a variety of nosh and charcuterie worthy items. A great selection of cheeses from America, South America, Canada and Europe. Some Asian products: chili oil and pickled veggies. Their menu offers sandwiches with cold cuts and cheese. The house baked organic semolina baguette and focaccia breads are scrumptious and taste samples are gratis!! For such a small shop there was considerable amount of customers. The staff were busy helping customers patiently answered questions about products. Limited outdoor seating available to enjoy a pastry treat, coffee, sandwich or cheese and baguette. Jaybird Superette is a fantastic addition to this neighborhood and the La Jolla community. Worth a visit. Recommend

It was like a warm hug, and as we walked in, they were setting out salted French butter for the baguette samples. I asked for a cheese plate to go since I wanted to nosh on it throughout the day. It was beautiful, with three cheeses I would never have had the opportunity to try. A soft creamy goat, a peppery hard cheese from Germany, and a luscious buttery cheese. At $20, this was a true value, the servings were more than I expected, and the fancy British crackers, fruits and a spread were included. Add the baguette, do not leave without a baguette! My next visit will be with friends so we can sit on the patio and try one of the great wines for sale. And more cheese and some cured meats. I splurged on an apricot jam and have zero regrets. This little corner feels like lunch at a ski chalet in Kitzbuhel, but you don't have to fly there or get cold, or ski. I wish I had taken a photo!

The avocado toast came on artisan sourdough bread, which they toasted well. I really appreciated that. The toast came with freshly sliced avocado, sea salt, tomato, feta, a fresh abundance of micro greens, and balsamic with a touch of lemon. The toast was great. All the ingredients played well together and tasted great. The well toasted sourdough gave the toast great texture. The cortado was very good, too. It was rich in coffee flavor and smooth to drink. I loved that they served it in a proper Gibraltar glass. So mant coffee shops around town miss this important glass. The service was very nice and welcoming. They offer inside and outside seating. Good music, too!
